Well, one thing was for sure. Charles treated this last incarceration as another learning opportunity. This time, he dove into the Church of Scientology, which had been founded just a few years earlier. But like the Dale Carnegie classes, Charles saw it less as an opportunity for self-improvement and more as a tool for manipulation.

He thought he could use the tenets of Scientology to appeal to potential sex work recruits, but he also used his new religion to placate the prison's staff. They liked it when inmates showed a positive attitude and were encouraged by Charles' interest in Scientology. Around this time, Charles also became interested in a science fiction book called Stranger in a Strange Land.

It's about a man raised on Mars who starts his own religion on Earth. The character also uses his mind to destroy his enemies, engages in group sex, and becomes an immortal spirit. These ideas, particularly the group sex, would become a major factor in Charles' ideology down the road.

In addition to learning to manipulate people, Charles used his time in prison to rekindle the guitar hobby he'd started back in West Virginia. One of the prison's most notorious convicts, former outlaw Alvin Creepy Karpis, was also a talented musician, and he was happy to give Charles lessons, although he didn't think his new student was very good.

Charles' obsession with music helped him stay out of trouble, though, and on March 21, 1967, he was released early. Left with nowhere to go, he called a former prisoner he'd been friendly with. He invited 32-year-old Charles to come stay with him in Berkeley, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area.
